INTERPLANETARY EXISTENCE: Excerpt taken from The Nine Freedoms by Dr. George King, the late Founder/President of The Aetherius Society

''FROM THERE GREATER FREEDOM IS REALISED. INTERPLANETARY MAN IS NO LONGER BOUND TO THE CLAY OF TERRA OR THE CLAY OF ANY OTHER PLANET. HE IS FREE TO SERVE THROUGHOUT THE GALAXY - EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE GALAXY.''

INSIDE THE FLYING SAUCERS by George Adamski

“Many such Motherships have been built,” (the Venusian Woman, Kalna explained, “not only on Venus but also on Mars and Saturn and many other planets. However, they are not intended for the exclusive use of any particular planet, but for the purpose of contributing to the education and pleasure of all citizens in the whole brotherhood of the Universe. People naturally are great explorers. Therefore, travel in our worlds is not the privilege of the few, but of all. Every three months a fourth of the inhabitants of our planets embark on these gigantic ships and set out for a cruise through space, stopping at other planets just as your cruise liners stop at foreign ports. In this way our people learn about the mighty Universe and are enabled to see, firsthand, a little more of the ‘many mansions’ in the Father’s house to which your Bible refers.

“In the temples of wisdom on our planets we have many mechanical devices by means of which our citizens also can study conditions in other worlds and systems, and space itself. But with us as with you, nothing can quite take the place of actual experience. So we have built fleets of gigantic ships like the one you see pictured there, which might also be described literally as small artificial planets. They contain everything necessary for the welfare and pleasure of thousands of people over a three-month period. Apart from size, the main difference is that planets are spherical in shape, are divinely made, and move in elliptical orbits around a central Sun, while these little man-made planets are cylindrical and can move through space at will.”
